Vicious

Talking about carry positions, I like the 4-4:30 position. Can nudge it to the 3:00 easily when getting in a vehicle for long periods for comfort and an easier draw. Also not a bad position if you are only driving for a short period.

Still nothing. Got back from vacation and was hoping to have a package, but nothing. I doubt that I'm the norm. SIG tends to make a quality product, and I just had bad luck. That said, based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend the SIG optics at this time. Hopefully in 10 years when I get mine back it will change that opinion.

I don't really have any reason to call. There is no mystery. I wrote to my case rep who replies very quickly. I'm not going to call and sit on hold and get the same answer. That would be annoying. If I would have went Glock, I would have put a Trijicon RMR on top. That is a quality gun and a quality optic. I'm also pretty sure that if I needed to send either in, they would have a faster turn around time. Just not too happy with SIG atm... Hopefully when I get the optic back I won't discover any other issues with the package. Lol, one thing that botherd me is that when I mentioned turn around time, the rep implied that the gun was still functional without the optic. I don't think he quite got that the RX feature is like 90% of my reason for this purchase.

Lol, wish I was. Would have went Glock if I knew what I know.

Nada, still waiting.

The Blade-Tech WRS Level 2 has been keeping my HK in there pretty well. I don't have much of an opinion on the SERPA either way. I don't use it because I think the open tops look like a potential gun grab for a crook. The hood strap looks like it is to involved to get a clean snatch.

Lol, not sure. I have read a lot of mixed things about the Romeo 1 but not really any outright failures.

Was told by SIG that current turnaround time for optics is 6-8 weeks! Expect a return tracking e-mail mid July! Very disappointed by that, but I really didn't have an option anyway. Kinda wishing I had gone Glock/ Trijicon at this point. I have to admit though, the CS is professional and prompt with the responses. Can't be mad at that. I just wish they put a little priority on my case since the pistol was in my possession for less than 15 hours when I found the issue.

I haven't received anything yet. Not even a confirmation email. I was very busy at work this week and almost forgot about it. I'm going to call on Monday.

My holster is made of unobtanium.

Not trying to hijack, but is there anyone in Jersey selling a Compact (not carbine) model for under $250 locally? I can get one online for $200 with free shipping and $35 transfer, but would prefer to stay local. On the thread topic, I had a carbine and I found it to be highly inconsistent with all major brands of .22 that I could find. Very reliable, just not accurate.

Nope. They received it (as per Fed-EX) but have yet to send me any info.

No direct experience with the p220, but I do have a p226. I like SIG generally. They have a great, hearty, over-engineered German feel.

Absolutely. In fact, PM inbound.

Haha, I won't tell, but I feel like she already knows... It's a nice gun. Very top heavy feeling (speaking about the standard non-RX compact that I had a chance to put a few rounds through; weight and balance pretty much same with RX and non-RX) compared to a G19, yet smooth shooting. I guess the weight tames the snappiness of the 9mm. The imbalance also makes it feel like the front bears down on your target really well. That is something you have to experience firsthand. I was really close to getting a G19 MOS, but I don't like the look. Stupid reason, until I saw/ shot a p320.

Yeah, the way it came the dot was basically a little more than resting on the front sight.

Nothing that I noticed. I really can't wait to get it back. I suppose I will need to zero it as well since they come mounted and zero'ed from SIG.

Lol, probably should have included that. I sent it in Monday (on their dime) and they received it about 9 a.m. today. I will keep this thread updated with what happens. FWIW it seems like a quality optic, lightweight with very large glass. I did notice a little glare looking through it, but I was under bright artificial light. SIG tends to stand behind there stuff and I fully expect to receive nothing more or less than a working optic. I just have no idea when that will be. I am also kind of assuming that they are going to replace it. We will see.

I could get it to turn on, but the up button didn't work. I could turn the brightness down, but to get it back up I had to pull the battery out. On top of that it would randomly blink. I tried 3 different batteries, same result.

Lol, exactly. That's why I think it's funny. People are getting what they wanted. Based on your scenario btw, I would follow through with a search/ arrest 'cus drugs bring bad juju to a neighborhood.

The problem with discretion and cameras: -You as the LEO interact with "minor offender" possibly for some DPO. -You use your discretion and allow the "offender" to walk. -That "offender" then goes out and commits a serious indictable offense. You better believe that video is going to be on the 10 P.M. news along with a Monday night quarterbacking of how you screwed up.

Is there a camera at the intersection or one that may have caught it? If it shows her in the crosswalk first, she should be o.k. I once saw a drunk guy on a bike slam into the front fender of a car (the driver's name was Michael Jackson! lol) and even though it was in a crosswalk, the cops blamed the biker. I stuck around as a witness just in case, but they didn't even need me.

They had to supply all the Bond films. Lol

I have a RX, and the optic is at SIG because it flat out doesn't work.

I love that line, and it sums it up in the best way. I have taken a my fair share of punches in training and thrown them all back (literally), and the real (or perceived) threat of injury changes the game. Even though you take and throw real punches in training, the real thing feels so much more... real. Lol It turns your senses way up. I have been stressed in a competitive scenario before. 3 years of varsity soccer and track and field. No stranger to it. It will never compare to the stress and high you get when you need to act IDoL yours or another. The ability to respond accordingly and reasonably is why some can and some cannot. The OP specifies "operators," so I may be off topic with the LE comparison. These "operators" don't just shoot, they get things done. Until you can be dropped from a plane, swim some untold distance with your combat load out/ mission vital equipment, ruck said equipment 16 clicks through inhospitable conditions, camp out overnight with no lights/ fire, accomplish your task and evac. without losing your life, you as a competitive shooter are not better than the blanket term "operator" in their world. Ever watch the vids on YouTube where real warfighters play Call of Duty? I'll save you the time, they tend to suck. Assuming you have no military background, I would say dropped into the above scenario you too, sir, would suck. The comparison has to go both ways. Forget the whole bullets flying thing. Say your loved one (wife, husband, child) goes downstairs late at night to your (let's assume large) first floor to find their iPad or lesser electronic entertainment device. You hear someone break in through a window and they scream. You call out and get no response... Hope all that room clearing you did at that 3 gun match helps. See where this is going? Lol, sorry for the essays. I just think it is an interesting topic. Overall, all of the points are pretty moot because any self defense scenario outside of military and law enforcement stuff is typically over in a few shots anyway. Some loud bangs, a trip to the e.r. for at least one, and tinnitus for all in proximity.
